Excerpt from Heller's Guide for Ice-Cream Makers
Ice Cream, was invented by an enterprising man named Florin, a native of the city of Naples, Italy, almost one hundred and fifty years ago. Today it is still made and sold in Florins Cafe by his descendants.
In this country ice cream was introduced during the Colonial period and since those early days has grown more and more popular until at the present time it is made and sold wherever civilization reaches. It was not, however, until about 1850 that its manufacture and marketing on a large scale was attempted. The pioneer in this field, the wholesaling of ice cream, was Jacob Fussell who established factories in several of the large eastern cities and gradually built up an enormous business. Today it is estimated that the annual sales of ice cream total the stupendous sum of $150,000,000 annually.
It is undoubtedly true that at no time in the history of the ice cream industry has it occupied the position of importance which it does today and the ice cream manufacturer who keeps abreast of modern tendencies has a fertile field where the rewards are worthy of his best efforts.
This, our sixth and most complete edition of Heller's Guide For Ice-Cream Makers is intended to be not only a Guide for the beginner but an every day assistant to the expert and experienced ice-cream maker. We believe it to be the most complete reference book of its kind, and the large number of formulas (larger than found in most any other book,) may be used with every confidence.
We hope that our efforts to produce a work that would be of teal service to the ice-cream industry have not been spent in vain.
